Reflashing the EEPROM

[Jeff]

Hello all...

as in these threads for the Hermes:

I seemed to have screwed up my EEPROM while flashing to WM6 via HardSPL, the problem is that there was a power outage halfway through the process and now ANY ROM that I flash it to there is NO WIFI... It is there, it just won't work.

I have read that this is due to my EEPROM being screwed up due to bad flashing. Before I say that the MoBo is fried, I would like to try to reflash the EEPROM part

I have tried to mmty and putty and plink while no commands are able to be registered on the s200.

Could anyone with some expertise assist me in rewriting my EEPROM (I have the SPL from a 2.20 official ROM) - I assume that I need to write it back via putty, but I cannot seem to send commands to the device!

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance for any assistance in this matter.

same here...i tried but cant get the commands to work like you...pls let me know if you find a solution.

Off course it will not work, different doc and different addresses
It is your cid block at n1, not the SPL, please use pdocread.exe like this
Pdocread.exe -n 0 0 0xaf0000 spl.nb
pdocread -n 1 0 0x40000 cidblock.bin
pdocread -n 1 0x40000 0x4000 -b 0x4000 gsmdata.bin
compress the files using 7-zip ultra compression and send them to my mail
I'll try to help

or the MAC adress can be found @ offset 3e5c in gsmdata.bin

Chopin,

Mail sent as requested... Thank you IMMENSELY for your attention and assistance.

Pdocread.exe -n 0 0 0xaf0000 spl.nb returns this error:

"ERROR: ITReadDisk : read 00008000 bytes - A device attached to the system is not functioning."

However the other two were successful...

Is this because the SPL is bugged?

[paradis_pal]

I sent you mail back
Again it is not the SPL, sorry the command I wrote was wrong
Pdocread.exe -n 0 0 0x1f0000 spl.nb
Waiting your test, and there is no risk as you have a backup

[paradis_pal]

pdocread -n 1 0x40000 0x4000 -b 0x4000 gsmdata.bin

and send the file again

and tell me what is the size of the pdocread and pdocwrite

use the new itsutils tools

and what do u have g3 or g4?

Just to add my $0.02... this thread has helped me somewhat with my Kaiser :D and @chopin: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MZTGYxVGzQg

@Jeff
I checked your cidblock.bin and it is correct
but gsmdata.bin is corrupted, try to flash it again

[Jeff]

It is
Arvo Pärt: Silouans Song / Vienna Philharmonic Women

[Jeff]

"pdocwrite -n 1 -b 0x4000 gsmdata.bin 0x40000 0x4000
CopyFileToTFFS(gsmdata.bin:0, 40000, 00004000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."

This is with the newer versions of Pdocwrite with the GOOD GSMData...

I am lost at this point...

[paradis_pal]

pdocwrite -n 1 gsmdata.bin 0x40000 0x4000

[Jeff]

With the 104K Pdocwrite I get:

CopyFileToTFFS(gsmdata.bin:0, 40000, 00004000)
ERROR: could not read 0x0 bytes of preceeding sector data at 0x40000

With the 140K Pdocwrite I get:

CopyFileToTFFS(gsmdata.bin:0, 40000, 00004000)
ERROR: ITReadDisk : read 00004000 bytes - Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

[paradis_pal]

wrong information for me, no one rea this please

Glad u back from silence...
Nice to see u here :)

[paradis_pal]

You have mail!
Now I need help
Why in the new itsutils tools the gsm data @ offset 0x10000 with block size 0x4000
In the old one @offset 0x40000 with the same block size?
Is it a joke?

@jeff
But first back up GSM data and send it to my mail
Use the updated change MAC address tool it works now, to restore and write GSM data

[paradis_pal]

Glad u back from silence...
Nice to see u here :)
thanks my other man
nice to have some people like me, becasue a lot hate me

Hi! Chopin,

My WiFi doesn't work after DOC chip(s) replacement(due to Rom flash failure), and my Prophet's identity is WIZA200(Wizard model), no more PM300.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get WiFi back with the method which you and Jeff have discussed.

Thank you!

[laxduke]

First phone fell into water.
It got power problems with no charging from usb or power supply.
Then all this problems got fixed but wireless stopped working.

I have 3 files in zip archive send to you now.
Hope this helps.

P.S.
I have hard spl-ed and flashed shadow v1.0 for prophet.
Still not working.

[paradis_pal]

sorry I was busy
I'll check the files
but did u use the MAC tool for backup gsmdata
and please use the free program 7-zip

[laxduke]

No i used pdocread.
What mac tool i have to use?

[paradis_pal]

the start addresses are different in different versions of itsutils
please whom having problem send only these 2 files again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356154

I'm out and have no pc ( my Exams sorry), I use only my mobile hacking a wifi network
but I'll try to help

[laxduke]

I tried again with backup.bin and it gives me error.
It creates two files with 0 byte length.

[paradis_pal]

what wm you use? WM5 or WM6

you need to install enablerapi.cab for WM5 and of course connect activesync

I'm not sure it may work, cause the Wifi address may be diffrenet in Wizard, can you send your files?

I'm afraid to put the file for all users, and then someone will replace his original one with another for nothing

[laxduke]

Ok now i managed to get it work.
I'll send you the backup files zipped to your mail.
